A sample treatment method based on an aqueous two-phase system containing polyethylene glycol and dextran was developed for enhancing sensitivity in the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in soft cheese with PCR. The results suggest that the improved detection sensitivity following partitioning of the cheese homogenate in an aqueous two-phase system may be due to partitioning of the PCR inhibi...

this study was conducted to evaluatethe effects of different inter- and intra-row spacing on the dry matter accumulation and partitioning coefficients in faba bean, barakat cultivar. experiment was conducted as factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications. factors were inter-row spacing (15, 30, 45 and 60 cm) and intra-row spacing (5, 10 and 15 cm). the plant dry matt...

Abstract Particulate 2-methyltetrols (2-MT) and 2-methylglyceric acid (2-MG) are typically used to indicate the abundance of isoprene-derived secondary organic aerosols (SOA). However, their formation fate not fully understood. In this study, we showed that particulate 2-MT 2-MG collected at multiple monitoring sites under a wide range atmospheric emission conditions, with concentrations spanni...

Objective The main purpose of this article is to choose the best predictive model for IVF/ICSI classification and to calculate the probability of IVF/ICSI success for each couple using Artificial intelligence. Also, we aimed to find the most effective factors for prediction of ART success in infertile couples. MaterialsAndMethods In this cross-sectional study, the data of 486 patients are colle...

The need for achieving optimal performance for database applications is a primary objective for database designers and a primary requirement for database end users. Partitioning is one of the techniques used by designers to improve the performance of database access. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of horizontal table partitioning on query Response Time (RT) using three ...

Partitioning plays an increasingly very important role in the physical design process of VLSI circuits and systems. There are partitioning problems to be solved on all levels of abstraction. The available algorithm technology determines how effectively we can address a given partitioning formulation and optimize a given objective. In 3D, the partitioned units are assigned to a particular layer....
